Epoxidized vegetable oil have drawn much attention in recent yearrs, especially in the polymer industry as they are economical, available, environmentally friendly, non-noxious and renewable. Cashew nut shell liquid (CNSL), an agricultural by-product abundantly available in tropical countries such as Vietnam, India, is one of the major and economical resources of naturally occurring phenols. Cardanol a byproduct of CNSL could be epoxidized by reacting carbon-carbon double bonds of long unsaturated chain with peracids via the Prileshajev-epoxidation process or the conventional process. This paper deals with the epoxidized reaction of cardanol take place in formic acid and hydrogen peroxyde. The results shown that the conversion efficiency of the epoxidized reaction reacheres 80% at 600C, stirring rates 1800 rpm, 2% p-toluenesulfonic acid catalyst and rate of double bonds (DB)/HCOOH (AF)/H2O2 = 1.0/0.5/1.5. The product of epoxidized cardanol is also characterized by FT-IR, 1H-NMR and13C-NMR.
